ML Error Messages
Visual Studio 2005
The error messages generated by MASM components fall into three categories:
-
Fatal errors. These indicate a severe problem that prevents the utility from completing its normal process.
-
Nonfatal errors. The utility may complete its process. If it does, its result is not likely to be the one you want.
-
Warnings. These messages indicate conditions that may prevent you from getting the results you want.
All error messages take the following form:
Utility: Filename (Line) : [Error_type} (Code): Message_text
where:
- Utility
-
The program that sent the error message.
- Filename
-
The file that contains the error-generating condition.
- Line
-
The approximate line where the error condition exists.
- Error_type
-
Fatal Error, Error, or Warning.
- Code
-
The unique 5- or 6-digit error code.
- Message_text
-
A short and general description of the error condition.
